Oakside sits on Oak Avenue in New Richmond, Wisconsin, and serves as a small group home inside a ranch-style house, offering care to just four residents at a time, which means you'll see the same friendly faces every day and can enjoy a quieter, more personal place to live. Residents can choose between private bedrooms in either a shared room or private suite setup, all fully furnished, with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, air conditioning, cable TV, telephone, internet access, and even emergency alert systems right in each room. The grounds include walking paths, a garden, and well-kept community spaces, while inside there's a dining room with all-day dining and special meals that consider allergies, diabetes, and even use organic foods and ingredients, with staff also handling daily meal prep, housekeeping, laundry, and linen services so residents aren't left to worry about the chores that can get harder with age.
When it comes to care, Oakside covers a lot of bases, providing everything from independent living in a maintenance-free setup, all the way to full assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care, along with help for seniors who are living with dementia, mental illness, terminal illnesses, traumatic brain injuries, developmental disabilities, and those who require non-ambulatory care or high to moderate supervision. Staff, who speak English and are present 24/7-including awake overnight staff-give personalized help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and transfers, with medication management, coordination with healthcare providers, and support for special dietary needs always on hand, and there's a 24-hour call system when someone needs help fast. The staff help manage both daily needs and ongoing healthcare, arranging transportation to doctor visits, coordinating with providers, and making moves easier for new residents.
Oakside stays focused on giving people a warm, family-like atmosphere, and you'll notice the attention to small details like cozy barber or beauty areas, Wi-Fi, community activities, movie nights, and a schedule of social events that change day by day. The care team also runs memory programs and activities designed to help residents with memory loss or dementia. Those who live at Oakside find both routine and options, with move-in coordination offered if it's needed and clear attention to making every day a little simpler. The facility operates under the proper license, stays affordable, and has a supportive environment where people look out for each other. Everything-from walking in the garden to getting help with medication or having responsive support both day and night-has the aim of letting residents keep as much independence as they can, while still having safety and comfort close by.
